On-Yomi: オク、ヨク — Kun-Yomi: むね、おくする

Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 7-5-2007(84): Cowardice is the situation where you get the thought that maybe running away and saving your flesh is a good idea.

2) [timcampbell] 28-12-2008(64): Cowardice is when you are not willing to sacrifice your flesh for your ideas.

3) [dihutenosa] 2-8-2008(6): A real brave person would never put their flesh before their ideas. That's why so many people have been killed - for example, in China, where people showed cowardice in the face of capitalism. They weren't willing to put their flesh behind their ideas. Note that flesh is the "strong" or "main" radical in this kanji, which lets you know that this person is emphasizing flesh, and thus, exhibiting cowardice.

4) [manubear] 10-8-2012(4): "Er, I've got a good idea, let's hide on the moon" says the cowardly Shaggy in Scooby Doo ( 臆病な ).

5) [Aeryon] 24-1-2012(3): Man 1: "Hey, enough with the dumb ideas!" Man 2:"Dumb ideas?! I am just trying to save our flesh!" Man 1: "You coward!".
